Angelike has attended the EMSB since she entered the public education system, first at the former Frederick Banting Elementary School in Montreal North, then John Paul Junior High School in St. Léonard and now Laurier Macdonald. Her father, Joe Falbo, is an Italian Canadian; her mother, Manon Ledoux, is a francophone. Mr. Falbo says he credits the EMSB`s excellent instruction of the French language for Angelike`s bilingualism. Her impeccable command of French is being showcased regularly during interviews on stage and of course through song.
“We consistently tell people how bilingual our students are," said EMSB Chairman Angela Mancini. "What better ambassador can we have than this 16 year old student! We are very proud of her achievements.”
